Discovery Progress Diagnostics View

The Discovery Progress diagnostics view provides information about Netaphor SiteAudit™ past and current discovery of networks and devices.

The Network Discovery Progress section corresponds to entries on the Networks tab of the Discovery Configuration dialog box (Setup menu, Discovery). The Range Discovery Progress section corresponds to entries on the Devices tab.

Applications and Benefits

The Discovery Progress diagnostics view is useful for

Seeing where SiteAudit is in the discovery progress
Confirming that discovery has completed
Determining if / when discovery has completed on a network, range or device
Determining whether the discovery criteria should be optimized. For instance, if the view shows that discovery will take a long time to complete, this indicates that SiteAudit is performing discovery on very large or very slow networks. You should modify discovery so that only addresses or ranges having printers are discovered.
